Have you heard? Funds appropriated to help fund the Ukraine war have somehow wound up in the hands of a mining company extracting cobalt in Idaho. In fact, farmers’ water supplies are also being restricted by the government and redirected to the cobalt mining efforts. It’s all about renewable energy and ending our dependence on fossil fuels, so no complaining when there’s no food.

ZeroHedge reports that he is being charged with “committing an act of terrorism, first-degree arson, third-degree arson, destroying or injuring real or personal property of another, and escape by a felony prisoner.”
Mohammad Mesmarian is facing charges of terrorism after law
enforcement captured him after he rammed his car into a solar energy
plant in Las Vegas and set his vehicle on fire disabling the facility
Tuesday.
The attack on Las Vegas’ electrical infrastructure took place at the
Invenergy solar plant north of U.S. Route 93 near the Las Vegas Motor
Speedway according to KLAS-TV.
The 34-year-old Mesmarian plowed his vehicle through the perimeter
fence after employees had already left for the day according to police
but waited until approximately midnight before he finally set the car on
fire, the local outlet reported citing law enforcement documents.
The car used in the attack was reportedly a Toyota Camry registered in Idaho, according to The Street.
Posted onDecember 23, 2022|Comments Off on European green energy fiasco is a terrifying warning for US this winter
Renewable energy proves unreliable, so Europeans turn to coal and nuclear as they face crisis
Europe’s climate-consciousness
is hardly paying off for European families who face startling energy
blackouts this winter amid a dangerous energy crisis. The energy
shortage is largely due to an over reliance on solar and wind generated
power made worse by Europe’s 2015 Paris Climate Accord agreement, which
mandated the closing of coal-fired power plants and replacing them with
less reliable wind and solar power alternatives.
There is no doubt that unpredictable energy sources such as these cause unnecessary suffering, financial strain and even illness among the most vulnerable. Americans should take heed from Europe’s misguided energy strategy and misplaced reliance on wind and solar power, or else watch many regions of the United States endure lengthy power shortages.

Puerto Rico has dealt with its share of disasters in recent years. You may know its entire energy grid also qualifies as something of a disaster. Now, despite billions of U.S. tax dollars, there’s concern the system is on the verge of a total collapse, prompting the U.S. territory to declare a state of emergency.
Hurricanes Maria and Irma destroyed most of Puerto Rico’s power system in 2017. But it wasn’t much to begin with.
Manuel Laboy: Maria was essentially a huge wake up call.

Sharyl:
You’ve had many hurricanes before, but that was the one that seemed to
really trigger this realization that we’d better fix all of this.
Laboy:
So it is kind of a blessing in disguise, certainly. The silver lining
opportunity is that we went through a very, very tough time. It cost us a
lot, including lives, and moving forward, looking forward, now we have
the chance to address something that we knew that 20 years ago, 30 years
ago, it’s something that we needed to address.
With Puerto Rico in bankruptcy, a financial oversight board approved hiring an American-Canadian consortium called LUMA Energy to deliver on the island’s energy makeover. The company took the reins June 1st.
